Colorful and sweet!​

  This is the perfect pie to bake whenever you are expecting a crowd! It is filled with a combination of apples, pears, blueberries, cherries, and cranberries. Feel free to use whatever fruit you have available! :)

A double batch of pie crust was needed to fill my baking pan! Here's the link to my pie crust recipe.

I tossed the fruit filling with a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and orange zest!

Ready to serve a crowd! :)

Giant Mixed Fruit Pie!


Filling Ingredients:
 4 to 5 cups       mixed fruit (your choice)
 1 cup                 brown sugar
​ 1 to 2 Tbsp       tapioca starch
 2 Tbsp               cinnamon
 2 tsp                  cardamom
                            Zest of orange or lemon or both
Crumble Topping:
 1 cup                 chilled butter
 1 cup                 brown sugar
 1 cup                 flour
 1/2 cup             oatmeal
 1 Tbsp              cinnamon

 2                        prepared pie crusts combined  Here's a link to my recipe

Crumble Topping Directions:
 Place all of the crumble ingredients in your stand mixer bowl.
 Using the paddle attachment, mix on high speed until everything combines. Be careful not to over-mix.
​*You can also prepare the crumb topping by hand using a pastry blender.


Directions:
 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
 Prepare the pie crust in a large baking pan. I used a 15x10 inch baking pan here, but use whatever you've got.
 Place the fruit and all the other filling ingredients in a large bowl and blend well.
 Pour the filling ingredients into your giant prepared crust.
 Top with a crumble topping.

 Bake at 325 for about 1 hour or until everything is bubbling all over. The larger pan may require a bit more time, just   keep an eye on it. 
​ Enjoy :)

    I have been baking breads, pies, cakes, and other treats ever since I was old enough to turn on the oven by myself. Although baking is my first love, I'm pretty good at the other stuff too! Over the years I have prepared everything from a pot of beans, to a whole roasted pig over an open fire! 
    Living along the Russian River in Sonoma county, surrounded by the countless California vineyards, orchards, wineries, and family farms is the inspiration for much of what you will read and see here. This blog is also home to some of my favorite traditional family recipes. There is always something new going on in my kitchen. Be sure to stop by often.
